Freepers:

I got this response from the seller:

Hi, the Obama birth certificate auction is up again. Ebay pulled it two hours ago. They thought that maybe someone had gained access to my account being that the auction was atypical. The new auction ID number is 160344928067. Thank you and I apologize for the inconvenience. Colmado_Naranja

Does anyone here sell on eBay, who can object to this auction being carried by them?


Here is backup which can be sent to eBay.

Obama Hawaiian-born: Citizen for sure
Posted November 3, 2008 3:45 PM
by James Janega

Seeking to squelch persistent rumors that Sen. Barack Obama isn't eligible to become president because he allegedly was born outside the United States, a Hawaiian official has confirmed she has "personally seen and verified" that the state "has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate" - meaning Obama was born in the Aloha state, and is therefore an American citizen.

"There have been numerous requests for Sen. Barack Hussein Obama's official birth certificate. State law (Hawai'i Revised Statutes §338-18) prohibits the release of a certified birth certificate to persons who do not have a tangible interest in the vital record," reads an Oct. 31 statement from Hawaii's Dr. Chiyome Fukino, who heads the Hawaii office that oversees health records -- including birth certificates.

"Therefore, I as Director of Health for the State of Hawai'i, along with the Registrar of Vital Statistics who has statutory authority to oversee and maintain these type of vital records, have personally seen and verified that the Hawai'i State Department of Health has Sen. Obama's original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures," Fukino said in the three paragraph statement.

"No state official, including Governor Linda Lingle, has ever instructed that this vital record be handled in a manner different from any other vital record in the possession of the State of Hawai'i," the statement concludes.

Does this mean Obama was born in Hawaii?

"Yes," said Hawaii Health Department spokeswoman Janice Okubo, in both email and telephone interviews with the Tribune. "That's what Dr. Fukino is saying."

-

In June, the Obama campaign released an electronic copy of the certificate bearing the seal of the State of Hawaii Department of Health and showing that Barack Hussein Obama II was born to mother Stanley Ann Dunham in Honolulu at 7:24 p.m. on Aug. 4, 1961.

Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said last week that the document was authentic.

And now, so has the state of Hawaii.

[Historic NY]

1. I sent a report now see if they pull it.

[sabbat hunter]

4. how do you report it? n/t

[Historic NY]

10. All the way on the very bottom is a report section..I think you may need an account..

routinely people try running scams on e-bay so it allows user to alert them to various suspect items etc.

http://contact.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ReportItemMemb...

[Adelante]

20. Isn't there a discussion forum for sellers?

I sold postcards on eBay at one time when eBay was fairly new. I have no idea how it works anymore or even what my account name was. But at one point I think they came up with a forum.

Maybe posting the rebuttal information in there would be good? Or is there one specifically about fraud?

[hlthe2b]

14. Ebay Has to halt fraudulent auctions...

and this is FRAUD....I actually think that law enforcement should be notified--FBI would probably have jurisdiction.

[Historic NY]

17. they have a LE section, is only a fraud if a person make the transaction...

its like a Nigerian 411 Scheme.

[hobbit709]

2. Done

Reported as forgery and offensive item.

[cali]

3. I say leave it up and let some freepwad lose a bundle on this fraud.

[Ohio Joe]

7. Absolutely

A freeper (fool, freeper, same thing) and his money are soon parted. Damn, I'm broke, I wish I had thought of this, I'd take the freepers money. I mean, it is not like anyone with a brain in their head is going to take this seriously.

[Kahuna]

13. I agree. nt

[bulloney]

104. That freepwad likely gave some African king his bank PINs before obtaining the Obama "documents."

And now, he's expecting a shitload of money to be wired into his account.

That's about the intelligence of these people.

[northernlights]

108. dingdingding

I'm totally with you. Actually, I think it's pretty funny. Gives ideas on how to make some extra bucks selling crap to freepers

[Alert Ignore]

114. Not Freepwads, just me.

See post #107

You don't really think a freeper would have 10,000 to dump on that do you ? ..hell, I don't even have 10,000.

Of course, there was someone bidding against me, could have been anyone.

[rpannier]

5. I find it somewhat amusing that these morons still believe it

Does anyone honestly believe that if he wasn't born in the US that the Bush administration wouldn't have said something -- especially a few days before the election

[Adelante]

6. Anyone know how to contact Obama's lawyers?

That would be good.

[dipsydoodle]

8. You've sure got some weirdos overe there

[Doremus]

79. You said it.

The powersellers message board is populated with sooooo many mouthbreathers, sigh.

They regularly post Drudge and Faux garbage as if it were gospel and all the other mouthbreathers chime in .... not unlike another board which shall remain nameless.

[Clio the Leo]

9. Wish I had thought of that....

.... it would be nice to make some money off of this schadenfreude.

[connecticut yankee]

11. I think it was pulled again

If I type in the number, it comes up. But if I type in "Barack Hussein Obama," it doesn't.

[Adelante]

16. Comes up for me

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1603...

On direct URL.

But I don't see it with the search, either.

[Kahuna]

12. That is some funny shite there.

[lynne]

15. I've bought and sold on eBay and I can't figure this out -

- in looking at the guy's history. He's been with eBay since 2007 and has an absolutely perfect feedback record for both sales and purchases. In looking at what he's recently purchased, nothing seems political in nature but you can only view the item details for his most recent purchases.

eBayers normally protect their feedback status and I find it odd that he would risk it all on this. Possibly he is the victim of fraud with this "certificate" and isn't bright enough to know it?

[Adelante]

18. He did buy a book about how to be a hit man

I didn't save the link, but I'll look for it.

Hit Man:
A Technical Manual for
Independent Contractors
by Rex Feral ~ 1983


Hit Man: A Technical Manual for Independent Contractors is a book written under the pseudonym Rex Feral and published by Paladin Press in 1983. It has been claimed that the book started life as a detailed crime novel written by a Florida housewife, and that the format was later changed to appeal to Paladin's reader base. The book portrays itself as a how-to manual on starting a career as a hit man, fulfilling contracts.

Existing copies at Paladin Press were destroyed after the book was found to be used as a guide during a triple murder in 1993. It is believed that 13,000 copies were sold, although Reason Magazine estimates there are 20,000 copies of the book in existence.

I looked at his feedback record and wondered the same thing as you did.

[me b zola]

26. When did he buy that book?

If it has been in the past year I would contact secret service.

[Historic NY]

19. perhaps but he does dabble in Voodoo,

[Stephanie]

58. I'm searching him and he's not turning up - what is the seller name?

Is it colrnado_naranja?

[Stephanie]

60. Never mind, found him >

http://feedback.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback2...

[Adelante]

21. Gawd, somebody's bidding on this POS

I always knew they were stupid, but a thousand bucks in this economy!

[Kahuna]

22. The high bidder has 750 positive feedbacks. 100%. nt

[tanyev]

23. Fools and their money.

[HughMoran]

24. Nigerian posing as a Kenyan?

[Undercurrent]

25. Gone! hehe

Like many others, I sent eBay a fraud alert. Bingo! They took action and removed this bs.

Right before it was removed the bid was over $10,000!

[treestar]

27. If they don't believe the certified Hawaiian certificate, why do they

believe a certified Kenyan one?

It is amazing that these people think that merely because his father was black he has to have been born in Kenya. Don't they object to the immigrants who come to the U.S.? Why do they think it impossible that Obama's Dad came to the U.S.?

[Undercurrent]

29. HaHa

How unAmerican of these dopes to trust Kenya over the United States!

[Adelante]

30. Poor pitiful Freepers

VERY STRANGE—I was just bidding on the item at E-Bay, the certificate got up to $10,030.00 then suddenly the item was gone. Completly removed with no traces of bidding. The item has been scrubbed.

[Adelante]

31. These Birthers are fucking killing me now

Dennis, if what you say is true and it was purchased for the "Buy Now" price of $1,000,000, does it mean it actually exists? If it was bought by the Obama administration, it will never see the light of day.

If this is proven true and not a hoax, Judge Schreiber needs to be aware of it so he can subpoena it.

Thing is, someone had to report it as a violation, eBay can't possibly police all of it's listings. I sell on eBay so I know.

'Proof' of Kenyan birth twice scrubbed by eBay
But seller of 'Obama's birth certificate' dodges administrators to post 3rd time
Posted: June 27, 2009
3:19 pm Eastern

© 2009 WorldNetDaily

Editor's note: Since publication of this story, the auction item has been removed for the third time. None of the item identification numbers in this article remain valid.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pag...

The little shit thought he was so clever.

Even those critical of the questions surrounding Obama's birth and eligibility to serve as President noticed, as members of the message board Democratic Underground claimed to have reported the auction to eBay administration as a "forgery and offensive item."

At some time around 10:30 ET this morning, however, the second auction listing was scrubbed as well.

In the third listing from colmado_naranja, the seller explains, "This time their reasoning for the cancellation was that birth certificates and other forms are government ID are prohibited on eBay."

Nonetheless, the auction lives on.

Under its now third eBay number, 160345002984, the item up for sale is listed as a "story" and specifically states the document is a gift to the winner, not the object of bidding itself:

"I'm now auctioning my story (true story) of how I obtained U.S. President Barack Obama's Kenyan birth certificate," the listing states. "The winner of this auction will not bear copyrights to my story. However, along with my story the winning bidder will also take home U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama's Kenyan (African) birth certificate. Certified birth certificate. I am giving the birth certificate to the bidder that wins this auction, which is for my story."

Just to be certain, the listing restates, "You are not bidding on Barack Obama's Kenyan birth certificate in this eBay auction."

[Joe the Liberal]

36. Oh man some freeper nut would snatch that up in a hurry.......

It's a good way to make some cash off these fucking idiots. I would love to see the look on the face of the dumb fuck freeper who buys it and gets it the mail only to find out it's a note that says "SUCKER" written in crayon in scribbley handwriting.

[PatSeg]

38. The birth certificate was probably obtained from

some prince who wants to transfer millions of dollars into your bank account.

[Number23]

40. Yay! They finally found it! And for the low, low price of $1000 US dollars

Let me know who buys it. I can sell them this next

[BlooInBloo]

41. "This Listing Is Unavailable"

" This Listing Is Unavailable

[Politicalboi]

42. If real

Couldn't he make more money going on TV and Faux Noise?

[Feron]

43. It's an ebay gag y'all.

The picture included in the auction listing should be a dead giveaway.

Apparently there is a humorless contingent around here. For the uninitiated, these sort of auctions pop up every now and then. They always have high bids and you know that the seller will never collect (likely because the bidders are either the seller or co-conspirators). The aim, in any case, is publicity.

Sometime during Clinton's presidency, I got a three dollar bill with him on it. It was hilarious, but sadly I lost it. These days someone would report it to the Secret Service.

[Libertarian69]

44. Really funny how many people are threatened by this document.

I'm sure Conservatives would just drop the whole issue if Obumma would just release the long form with hospital and doc info, instead of the short form that non-residents can get (especially with computer print font that simply didn't exist in 1961.

Those who petition Ebay to remove the auction know this, or they wouldn't be trying to infringe on others' free speech and free commerce. If the truth got out, it would damage their cause and they know it, so as long as they can stop it, they will keep trying. Unfortunately, Ebay seems to be of the same mind and goes along like a good-little liberal site. I mean, why would you care if some idiot spent 10k on a forgery? Really? You wouldn't care, because he'd be a CONSERVATIVE idiot. You care because it would prove YOUR president to be the biggest fraud in US History (which I consider him to be anyway, birth issue notwithstanding).

[boppers]

45. LOL

Computers didn't exist in 1961? Classic.

Enjoy your stay, however brief it may be.

[Libertarian69]

46. You might want to learn how to read.

I said the font didn't exist. It's clearly a modern, laser-printer font. Birth certs in 1961 were either handwritten or typewritten. Do you know what a typewriter is?

[boppers]

48. Oh, the font? I'm guessing you're definitely *not* a typographer.

It looks like Akzidenz-Grotesk, which has existed since 1896, or Helvetica, from 1957.

You obviously don't know anything about fonts, so I wouldn't expect you to know that Typewriters, and other electronic printers, have had "custom" fonts (keysets, wheels, etc.) ever since they've existed.

[boppers]

51. The official birth certificate has a revision date...LOL

At the bottom, it says:
"11/01 LASER"

So, you're right, his real birth certificate was printed on a laser printer.

[Libertarian69]

62. Wow, thanks

I didn't notice THAT part...I just know what a document printed in 1961 looks like and what one printed in the information age looks like.

[Libertarian69]

61. No, I'm not...but I'm also not an idiot

It's clearly a recently printed laser-document. The FONT itself may have existed, but no computer could print it.

[boppers]

66. Custom and computer printed type has been around longer than many think.

Using binary data to create text and images (Jacquard loom) was 1801
Linotype came out in 1864 (hot metal, keyboard entered, typesetting, thousands of custom fonts)
Typewriters, with varying fonts, are 1870-ish
Teletype was 1922 (remote, automatic, printing of text)
Times New Roman came out in 1932
Electric Computers were 1941-44, and used teletype output in many cases (electronic, printed, output)
(This is when "computers" could start printing in different fonts, before, it was limited to "typesetting machines" or "teletypes")
Courier, the "IBM typewriter font" was 1955
Laser printers were invented in 1969
Dot-Matrix was 1970

[Libertarian69]

86. Until laser and inkjet printers came along...

non-thermal computer printers used typewriter-style ribbons which left distinctive marks and deformities in the printed characters, none of which are present in the presented "certificate". Not to mention it's already been pointed out that it is marked as a laser-printed document.

[boppers]

93. I believe I pointed that out.

Thanks for giving me a chance to brain-dump on the history of computer typography, though.

[Raine1967]

111. +1

Graphic designer geek here....

[kestrel91316]

130. The original is not to be released. All states issue these damned

digital copies, and have for years. Nobody gets photocopies of scribbled crap anymore, which is sad for us genealogists who can glean all sorts of info from them and find digital certificates a bore, but that's OT.

A certified copy is legally valid in any court in the nation. Go bark up some other fucking tree.

[Libertarian69]

47. Thanks

Oh yeah, and thanks for wishing me a nice stay. I'm imagining that anyone who doesn't share the predominant (if wrong) view here isn't very welcome and I'll be going away soon.

[Akoto]

49. No need to be snide. The site's policies are very clearly posted.

Certain things are tolerated by the administrators, and your conduct wouldn't fall under that umbrella. As this server is privately owned, they are well within their rights to allow or deny anything. The same would be true of a site owned by the most hardcore of neocon Republicans.

Having said that, the thought that Obama became President with a fake birth certificate is absurd. Always has been, always will be. Do you honestly believe that the process of vetting candidates for one of the most powerful offices on the planet is that lazy? The eBay auctions are being taken down because they're selling fraudulent, worthless goods intended to slander the leader of the US (as well as rip off some idiot gullible enough to believe such crap).

[Libertarian69]

50. Fake certificate?

Who said anything about a fake? He simply presented a legal document from Hawaii (one that you or I could also get were we to become residents) showing that, indeed, he was born (which I suppose proves he's not from outer space).

It would be great to see the actual "birth certificate" with all the info instead of just the "certificate of live birth" short form that we all could get compliments of Hawaii. I really don't see that as unreasonable.

[boppers]

52. You want a non-official birth certificate?

You mean the hospital paperwork, or one of those fake "certificates" they give new parents, not an actual, valid, legal document?

[Libertarian69]

55. No

I mean the standard, long-form birth certificate from the State of Hawaii which lists the hospital and doctor. The one that ONLY PEOPLE ACTUALLY BORN IN HAWAII can get.

[Historic NY]

121. Where's your long form? I'd bet pasted in some baby book which was common..

back in the day. I'm lucky I have two the hosptial one and the offical recorded one. Social Security didn't care which one they got.

[kestrel91316]

129. Who knows where it might be? His mom is dead, and if it was with her

stuff, it's long gone. The legal standard of proof is the certified copy from the state. I know a bit about this, being an amateur genealogist.

Welcome to DU. Enjoy your very brief stay. Say hi to RimJob when you see him.

[Akoto]

53. I don't see what has already been provided as unreasonable.

Any information one could reasonably desire in order to prove citizenship (the point frequently contested) is contained within the more readily available documentation.

Hawaiian officials have also publicly stated that they've since viewed Obama's actual birth certificate, and that both it and his citizenship are genuine.

I don't know why people need anything more. It's like they have this need to disprove an idiotic theory about something that never would've happened. If Obama was not a citizen of the US, he would not have made it into political power, much less to the Presidency.

[Libertarian69]

54. You seem to trust the government

Did you trust it as much under Bush?

Birth certificates, including the Hawaiian LONG form, are PUBLIC RECORDS. Denying the public access to them is completely UNreasonable. We have the RIGHT to see them. It's extremely suspicious that the requested long form has not been released, and I would venture to say that, if this were George W. Bush we were talking about, you'd agree wholeheartedly.

[Akoto]

57. Actually ...

I suspect that, if Obama were as white as Bush and his name a little more commonplace, this would never have been an issue. How many demands do you recall for the long-form birth certificates of past Presidents? How often did you make deep inquiries into their parentage?

As to whether I trust the government? No, I don't believe there has been some shady conspiracy to mask Obama's roots throughout his political career. It would've been far easier to say, at a much earlier time in his life, "dude, you're not a citizen, you can't serve."

The certificate of live birth states that he was born in Honolulu, on the island of Oahu. August 4, 1961. 7:24 PM. Hawaiian officials have put their careers on the line by stating that they've seen the full certificate, and that the above facts are true.

[Libertarian69]

59. Race card well played...

I was expecting it a bit sooner, but schedule isn't everything. I'm all for a black president, just not an African one. In any case, you're wrong. There was controversy over John McCain's eligibility during the campaign because he was born overseas, albeit on an American military base.

I just want to make sure that the head official in the USA who is sworn to protect the Constitution (as I am) is actually ABIDING by it and therefore qualified to take that oath. It's such an easily-resolved issue, I'm totally at a loss as to why the White House hasn't jumped on it and quashed it immediately rather than just laughing at us for asking.

[boppers]

63. Uhm, yeah.

Your racism clearly shows: "just not an African one".

There's also nothing wrong, illegal, or unconstitutional with an African-born man serving as president, or a man with one or both parents who immigrated from Africa, as long as he was born with US citizenship.

As far as the McCain flap goes, people didn't keep changing the goalposts, and demanding different documents, in hopes that one of them would have something damaging.

There's also no such country as "Africa", it's a continent.

[Libertarian69]

64. Ooooooo-kay...

"Your racism clearly shows: "just not an African one"."

No...that's not racism. I was talking about people actually FROM Africa. I also don't want someone from Europe, Asia, or Australia in the office of US President. Nice try on the race card again. This time, I'm playing the BS card.

"There's also nothing wrong, illegal, or unconstitutional with an African-born man serving as president, or a man with one or both parents who immigrated from Africa, as long as he was born with US citizenship."

You are absolutely correct. Only problem with that theory is that at the time of Obama's birth if only one parent
was a U.S. citizen at the time of the birth, that parent must have resided in the United States for at least 10 years, at least five of which had to be after the age of 16, and Obama's mother, "Stanley" was only 18 at the time. It also doesn't help matters that Obama's grandmother said she was present at Obama's birth in Mombasa.

"As far as the McCain flap goes, people didn't keep changing the goalposts, and demanding different documents, in hopes that one of them would have something damaging."

No one is asking for anything that isn't a public record. What would you do if a Republican administration denied the public access to public information and documents? I'm imagining you wouldn't be running to THEIR defense. In any case, I'm neither a Democrat NOR a Republican, I'm on the side of the USA, and I'd be all over this no matter which side was trying to hoodwink the public.

"There's also no such country as "Africa", it's a continent."

Again, your knowledge of the completely irrelevant amazes me. At least you have something to teach your kids. Might have been a better assertion in this particular thread had I actually stated there were such a country. Just for your info, Kenya is a country in Africa, making Obama both Kenyan and African if he was indeed born there. It would also be appropriate to call me a "North American" if you so chose. If it makes you feel better, however, I'll refer to him as "Kenyan" and not "African."

[KharmaTrain]

67. I'll Make You A Deal...

You get us a copy of georgie boooosh's draft records...especially the time he was in Alabama and I'm sure many here will be happy to play along with your birth certificate circle jerk.

BTW...hope you're delivered a Pineapple Pizza...nothing but the finest from our 50th state. Enjoy the next 7 1/2 years of President Obama...

[Libertarian69]

68. No deal

Bush, AWOL or not, was in the National Guard at the time of the draft. Personal military records, not that these would tell you anything substantial, are also protected by the privacy act, something that vital records are not. The denial of any US citizen to any public record by ANY administration is completely inexcusable and probably criminal as well. In any case, Bush is no longer in office to be booted out on an eligibility issue, so you're a bit late. We need proof, SIMPLE proof at that, to dispel any doubt of Obama's eligibility to be President of these United States. Failure to provide it is completely unacceptable.

[boppers]

70. You dodged the question.

Show his draft records.

It would clear a great deal up, if he would simply disclose his draft records.

Even though he's out of office now, it would let us know if we can nullify his 8 years of decisions, signing, law, etc.

Why won't you show the records?

What is he hiding?

[Libertarian69]

73. I didn't dodge anything

If I had access and had them, I'd show you chimp #1's records. Due to military regulations, I don't.

I SHOULD have access to chimp #2's birth cert, as it's a public record. And I'm not asking YOU for them, I'm asking the US government and/or the Hawaiian government, to allow us access to Obama's long-form proof of HAWAIIAN birth just as they would allow access to any OTHER US citizen's birth record.

So I'll do my best to hack the DoD's servers to get classified military records, right after I walk out of Hawaii's office of public records with my $10 copy of a public record.

[KharmaTrain]

75. So How About Posting Your Birth Certificate?

How do we know you're a "REAL" American? You could be a foreign agent trying to screw around with our country. So can you PROVE you're a REAL American? Please post your birth certificate so we all can see what a "REAL" one looks like, since you obviously are such an authority on such issues.

[boppers]

78. A REAL social security certificate, too.

Showing your number could be something fake or forged.

[Libertarian69]

88. When I run for president...

I will be glad to. There's no need for me to present proof of anything to post an opinion. I'm not asking YOU or Obumma to POST anything. I'm simply asking for legal access to his certificate long form, as is provided for in the state law of Hawaii. You have the right to go to Boston City Hall and get MY birth certificate as provided for in the state law of Massachusetts. And when I run for president, I promise you I won't block that right as Obumma is doing to the American People now.

[boppers]

90. Sorry, you don't have standing.

You totally have a right to get a document proving that Obama was eligible.

That document was provided.

[boppers]

83. Obama's magical-make-you-happy birth certificate is not a "public record".

You can't get it.

You can't just claim that something *SHOULD* be a public record, which is why you can't get whatever documents you're looking for, be it bush's records, or Obama's, or anything else you want to have.

Also, hacking the DoD servers is laughably ill-advised.

[Libertarian69]

96. Well...

Fortunately, I'll only hack the DoD as part of the agreement AFTER Hawaii lets me get a copy of the long form, which isn't happening as long as the White House blocks the Freedom of Information Act.

"You can't just claim that something *SHOULD* be a public record"

Birth certificates ARE public records in every single one of the 50 states. If you're using the fact that Obama is blocking its release to prove that it's not a public record, then you're pretty pathetic. You also have misplaced priorities. If I were you (Obama voter) and I'm not, thank God, I would be questioning why MY candidate, the guy who ran on a platform of "transparency" is denying the public access to the most basic of public records, a birth certificate proving place of birth, choosing instead to have his press secretary LAUGH at hundreds of thousands of Americans who simply want to glance at the document and put the issue to rest.

If Bush hid HIS birth cert...oh my God would it have been this vast right-wing conspiracy. But in typical Hail-to-the-Community-Organizer style, Obumma gets a no-questions-asked pass.

It's truly sad. I question everyone. You only question the other side.

[boppers]

98. Oh, I think there's probably something odd/old in there.

The thing is, regardless of what *IS* in the form, political hay will be made.

If Barry Sotero isn't on the form, the right wing will scream about "the real father".

If Sotero's nationality isn't in there, the right wing will scream about "his real nationality".

If the doctor isn't mentioned, the right wing will scream about "his real doctor".

Endless discussions will happen about fonts, about signatures, about the forms involved, etc.

The funny thing about dis-hinged conspiracy theorists is that no documentation, no information, can ever, ever, satisfy them.

Even if the mythical "perfect form" was released, and carbon dated, and finger printed, and ink-analyzed, the dis-hinged mind would still scream.

Example: The known fake of "The Shroud of Turin" still has defenders, with some really outlandish ideas. No argument, no evidence, can convince a "believer".

Belief defies logic, and reason. No amount of proof will ever satisfy somebody who believes Obama is a Kenyan citizen, because they aren't using logic, and reason, to think.

[StroudMan]

103. Your comment shows ignorance

Simply stated, nothing to clear up.  Your request to have his
draft records disclosed simply shows that either you didn't
bother to educate yourself on the selective service lottery
system or utilize the simple tables that indicate whether or
not an individual was selected for the draft or where he fell
within the lottery, which ended in Dec of 1972. GWB never fell
into any draft eligible category.  So, what records.  Your
turn, how about that pineapple pizza and BHO's long form BC.

[KharmaTrain]

72. I'd Hate To See You Go...You're Funny...

I'm enjoy you...sorry you're not gonna be around here much longer. I admire your guts...not your brains, but definitely your guts.

We'll never know about georgie's military service cause daddy made sure the paperwork went away. Just like his drug arrest in Houston in 1972...which was documented until the author somehow turned up dead.

I gladly voted for OUR PRESIDENT TWICE...first as Senator and NEVER was his birth certificate ever questioned...musta been the incomptent Alan Keyes that missed the ball on that one, right?

Want to go chasing your tail, go find out what happened to those records. By that time your head will return to its normal position...up your ass.

[Libertarian69]

77. And I'll hate to go...you make me feel so superior.

"I admire your guts...not your brains,"

I can definitely tell it's a trait you wouldn't admire much.

"Just like his drug arrest in Houston in 1972...which was documented until the author somehow turned up dead."

Well, I guess with Obama doing and dealing coke in high school, this would be a non-issue now.

"I gladly voted for OUR PRESIDENT TWICE"

That's a lot fewer times than MOST Democrats. I have to say I admire that trait in you.

"By that time your head will return to its normal position...up your ass."

Why would you assume that I'm anything like you? If I had my head up my ass, I wouldn't be looking for proof of eligibility. Oh, that's right, you're not looking. It would suck to question your own choice, wouldn't it? See, I'm an HONEST voter. I voted for Bush and I regretted it. You could never be that strong.

In any case, I'm glad Obumma is our pres. I really believe that we can't recover as a country until we hit rock-bottom and see what liberals (Bush and McCain included) are really about. Obumma will make sure we hit it sooner than later, and we can go about the business of getting honest and intelligent people elected to office and running this country.

[KharmaTrain]

80. Hit Rock Bottom?

Where were you over the last 8 years? Oh, that's right, you had your head firmly planted up your ass and your lips kiss the behind of the war profiteers and destroyers of our Constitution. And now you're gonna "stand up". Spare me.

If you were a REAL American, you'd be demanding the prosecution of the booosh cabal of war criminals who destroyed this country's military, economy and personal liberties.

Thank goodness for President Obama...we barely survived your rushpublican hypocrisies. lies and stupidity. Fortunately, a majority of Americans saw through your party's corruption and fraud. Enjoy the wilderness, you're gonna be there for a long, long time. Sucks to be you.

[Libertarian69]

94. I was right here...

Waiting to get rid of chimp #1. Too bad we got a bigger, badder chimp in his place.

"If you were a REAL American, you'd be demanding the prosecution of the booosh cabal of war criminals who destroyed this country's military, economy and personal liberties."

As soon as someone departs from the ad hominem (and quite boring) accusations of war crimes and actually starts citing WHICH laws were broken and presenting actual proof that they were, in fact, broken, then I'll be on board with that. I'm an honest American and will admit that Bush was a terrible president just as quickly as I'll say that Obumma is so far and BY far the worst president since Lincoln. You'll only admit to the former because you'd never admit you voted wrongly like I will.

And the only personal liberties I lost were under Clinton. I got them back under Bush, and I'll probably lose them again under Obumma. I don't consider the NSA being able to tap my phone if I make international calls and they suspect me as a terrorist to be a loss of personal liberty. In fact, I'd be just as happy to tape my international calls and send them to them just to save them the trouble.

"Thank goodness for President Obama...we barely survived your rushpublican hypocrisies. lies and stupidity."

Yeah, great...now we get DEMOCRAT hypocrisy, lies, and stupidity, AND another several trillion dollars in debt and deficit. Let me know how that works out for you.

"Fortunately, a majority of Americans saw through your party's corruption and fraud."

Last time I checked, there were no members of MY party in any high office. Making ASSumptions, perhaps?

"Enjoy the wilderness, you're gonna be there for a long, long time. Sucks to be you."

I've been there ever since Clinton got elected, and It looks like I'll be there until 2012.

[KharmaTrain]

97. Thanks For The Tour Of Bizzaroworld...

It's not often we get a live one like you around here. So your "libertarians" are gonna rise up in 2012? Has your Paulbot computer been reprogrammed?

So Clinton took away your personal librties and boooshie restored them? Do you buy this stuff by the once or the pound? Who came up with the draconian "Patriot Act" or pushed to wiretap your phones and mail. Sure wasn't Bill Clinton.

So you want proof of criminality over the 8 years. Hey, we finally have something we can agree on. Let's investigate...get boooshie and cheney and all the war criminals (no ad hominem, they launched war on false premises...they ARE War Criminals). So if you're such a stickler for openess, then join us in demanding the release of all the Abu Grahb pictures, the notes of the secret White House meetings, the guest lists who visted the White House and compell all who have been subpoenaed in front of Congress to testify. Now that's not too much to expect is it? Sure has a lot more bearing on our lives and the freedoms of this country than if PRESIDENT Obama's birth certificate is "legit" /

So now you're a "libertarian"...yeah, right.

[boppers]

99. International NSA taps were Clinton, not *

Actually, it's not phone calls, it's all traffic that's international.

For example, if somebody in the UK looks at this web page.

[StroudMan]

102. GW's Draft Info

Do you even know what President Bush’s SS Lottery numbers
were, or that he never even had a lottery number that was in
a group that was drafted, or that he joined the Texas ANG 18
months BEFORE the first lottery in Dec of 1969, or even know
what the SS Lottery was?  (No, I seriously doubt it.)  And
that, as they say, IS public record.  Play nice now!!  And,
oh yeah, ALL is military records were released by DOD, also
public record.

[boppers]

69. Hm.

Thanks for clarifying on the continents.

I'd be interested in which law you're talking about, but I'd simply point out that at the time of his birth, he was ineligible to run for president for other reasons. We have age limitations.

As far as what is, and isn't, "public record", laws about what is, and should be, public records change over time. Just like laws about who is, and isn't, a "natural born citizen".

Being born in Kenya does not make one a Kenyan citizen, and deny US citizenship (see: McCain).

[Libertarian69]

71. Well,

As much as I think McCain was nearly as much of a fraud as Obama (and I voted for neither), I would be willing to concede that being born to at least one American parent on a military base, and further conceding that an American military base is American soil, he was qualified. But if someone simply told me that McCain was born overseas and therefore ineligible, I would demand the proof that he is eligible.

And by "at the time of his birth" I was talking about his eligibility to be considered a "natural born citizen of the United States," not being eligible to become president, of course. I believe that age is 36, but I could be mistaken.

[KharmaTrain]

74. Of Course You're Mistaken...

To hold a federal office...a US Senator, one must be 30 years of age. To be president one must be 35. Be nice to yourself, instead of wasting money here...go and buy yourself a copy of the U.S. Constitution...guaranteed good reading. At least you appear to be a Freeper who can read more than two sentences without wondering where the pictures are.

I'm soooooooo impressed we have to prove to YOU about our PRESIDENT's eligibility. Of course you're a "libertarian"...aren't most ashamed rushpublicans?

[Libertarian69]

81. Oh wow...you got me!

Even though I admitted I wasn't completely sure...wow...that's a gotcha I'LL never recover from. I was off by a WHOLE YEAR...when you knew what I was F***ing talking about in the first place. But that's the Democrat mentality anyway, I guess...can't get on the relevant facts, dog 'em on the minutia. You probably get a lot of training watching NBC.

"I'm soooooooo impressed we have to prove to YOU about our PRESIDENT's eligibility"

Who said YOU had to prove it? HE needs to prove it. I was just musing on the efforts people on this forum were putting into suppressing information out of one side of their mouths while trying to discredit it out of the other. If it's not at all credible, then why would anyone try to suppress it? No need to suppress anything you aren't threatened by, and no need to be threatened by anything that isn't credible.

"Of course you're a "libertarian"...aren't most ashamed rushpublicans?"

Not really. I was a Reagan Republican until the party went liberal. I am for small government, states' rights, individual rights, individual responsibility, fiscal responsibility, border security, and military isolationism. Republicans abandoned every single one of those, and the Dems are just without hope. So, not being a sheep and trying to fit myself into a party that doesn't share my beliefs, I joined one that agrees with me almost 100%.

[KharmaTrain]

84. The rushpublicans went Liberal?

First, let me thank you so much for providing all this amusement and comic relief...teevee was getting boring. I haven't even alerted on you cause I'm having too much fun watching you twist in your own hypocrisy and stupidity.

I asked why we need to prove to YOU. I need no proof...I'm proud of our REAL President...not one had to steal elections.

Gotta love you rushpublican "libertarians"...translation: we don't stand for anything and never take or accept responsibilty. So we need smaller government? How about eliminating the military, make all roads tolls, have the police answer calls only to those who can afford it.

Thank you for all the amusement. Now don't you have a tail to go chase?

[boppers]

89. Actually, that's kind of close to liberal-libertarian ideals.

It's the whole "Ron Paul" (etc.) wing, who don't have much of a seat at either table right now.

[Libertarian69]

91. I'm sorry...

I forgot you're a liberal and I need to be VERY specific.

Smaller FEDERAL government, which has nothing to do with your local police.

Here's the federal government's responsibility as set forth by the Founding Fathers:

1. Maintain the standing army and defend the states against external enemies
2. Conduct foreign relations
3. Mediate interstate disputes

ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS are to be handled by the states themselves. The federal government is completely out of control and unrecognizable, and it's getting worse by the day and by the trillion.

And no, I don't have a tail to chase. And I'm not sure where yours has been so I'm not going to chase that either.

[boppers]

101. Federal Standing Army?

You FAIL, and apparently know nothing about the US Constitution.

There was to be no standing army, only the militia.

"To raise and support armies, but no appropriation of money to that use shall be for a longer term than two years;
To provide and maintain a navy;
To make rules for the government and regulation of the land and naval forces;
To provide for calling forth the militia to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections and repel invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia, and for governing such part of them as may be employed in the service of the United States, reserving to the states respectively, the appointment of the officers, and the authority of training the militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"

National standing armies? Hell no. Not in there. Standing Navy, yes, but the armies could only stand when re-authorized every two years.

If you're a true libertarian/minarchist, arguing for taxation to support an army in times of peace makes very little sense.

[boppers]

76. So, the law changed.

The constitution does not say "considered a natural born citizen at the time of his birth, based on the laws when and where he was born".

It says:
"No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States."

Case law is a bit messier:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born_citizen

Where in any given year, who was legally "natural born" could (and did) change.

Note that McCain/Obama aren't the first to be raked over the coals:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born_citizen#Presi...

[Libertarian69]

82. Great point...

But ex post facto. It doesn't change his status at birth, whatever that happened to be. Hopefully someday we will find out beyond a shadow of doubt.

[boppers]

85. So, even if he was legally unable to be prez at birth, but legally able to be prez now..

What does that change?

[Libertarian69]

92. It's not about when he was eligible to be pres...

It's about when he was eligible to be considered a natural born citizen, which election law will never change.

[boppers]

95. Oh, so you're arguing that slaves, and women, and non-property owners don't count?

I don't think I understand your argument. Could you expound further? You don't believe that modern law can interpret the constitution in different ways?

[Blue_Tires]

118. pity you leave us....

the important thing for you is not to give up...you MUST continue to spend EVERY waking hour for the rest of your natural life getting to the bottom of this birth certificate thing...no matter how long it take or how much it costs, you absolutely must keep going, for at the end of the journey lies your reward...

Long time lurker was finally forced to register to explain the auction.

I wasn't about to let this fraud get a red cent from this auction.

I was bidding against someone else, I assumed it was someone like me.

The screen shot I have in my email shows the bid at 10,000, of course I was high bidder when it got pulled.

[Adelante]

119. Swift Boat Liar, Obama-Trasher, WND In-House Birther, Jerome Corsi doesn't believe it

At least one investigator, who has traveled to Africa and sought the birth certificate from the very same hospital, however, told WND he remains "skeptical" of the eBay auction's claims.

WND's senior staff writer, Jerome Corsi, traveled to Kenya in 2008 to look into Obama's past and remaining ties to the nation.

While there, however, immigration authorities detained Corsi and his publicist – holding them under armed guard and without food – to prevent Corsi from holding a news conference revealing what he had discovered, eventually requiring thousands of dollars in bribes to set the writer free.

Corsi told WND that despite contacts in government offices, the help of others and even the offer of financial reward, the Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombasa would not confirm Obama's birth there nor provide access to records.

"When I was there, I tried to get records from that hospital, but I couldn't do it," Corsi said. "The hospital either had no records or wouldn't release them.

"That's what makes me skeptical," Corsi continued. "How did get the birth certificate, if it's real?"

Gawd, I hope he's not going sane all of a sudden.

127. Scammer sellers newest listing of the same scam... different wording...

Now he's saying it's a "dissertation" but those bidding on it already have the idea of what they think they're getting since it's been covered extensively on blogs, FR and even in the eBay forums.

As a long time seller and buyer on eBay this stuff just pisses me off. It makes eBay look bad and effects how sales are there (especially for the smaller sellers).
